Today I am participating in a blog hop. A super sweet Designer friend of mine has created a die cuts for Sizzix. The die cuts are pretty cool since they cut really thick material. I am using the business card holder as a mini-purse and I am including a gift card for my niece. I think it will make the gift card extra special. What girl does not like a cute little purse? I add glimmer to this by spraying Smooch Spritz to the black matte board. I applied a Design Adhesive from Clearsnap and embossed it with Frost. I added Rhinestones from Prima for that extra sparkle.
There are a other participants. Check out their blogs too. I know I will.

Bio-
Growing up in a small mid-western town, Niki Meiners was surrounded by a modest, resourceful and very entrepreneurial family. Her simple upbringing spurred her "Can do" attitude and gave her the confidence to try any challenge placed before her. She knew there was more out there than just her small town and set off after high school to explore the world. It was through these travels that she discovered her love of art and her desire to make the world a prettier place. It was not until she suffered a paralyzing illness that she realized she wanted to reconsider her corporate career as a Chief Paper Pusher, and her thoughts immediately turned to her first passion, art. In 2003 she began an odyssey that would take her from product design to publication and everywhere in between. She is known for her distinctive, high quality creations that feature a diverse mix of styles and highly creative approach to even the smallest detail. Niki is an Idea Architect, easily outlining every project from concept to completion. Her creations are simultaneously beautiful and functional and her in depth knowledge of the industry allows her to produce projects with a specific understanding of both the consumers and the manufacturers. This knowledge has allowed her work to be featured in the industries leading craft and lifestyle publications and manufacturers’ websites.

Well I’ve just completed the hop and ended with you and wow! Yet another cool color combination and interpretation. The glitter and rhinestones are very elegant with the brown. Brilliant!
